Charlie Brown on the baseball mound. Lucy pulling away the football. Woodstock driving a Zamboni. Snoopy's side-hustle tennis career. Charles M. Schulz, creator of the most beloved comic strip of all time, saw sports as an essential part of American society, and an endless inspiration for both simple fun and opportunities to reveal and test character... just as they are in real life. The comic strips that resulted are some of the most iconic images in comics history!
Gathered here in a gorgeous four-book hardcover box set are the best of Schulz's sporting-themed strips and sequences, compiled from over fifty years of daily Peanuts cartoons.
